I just proved the majority there voted Yanukovych, who was driven out of office illegally.
Even if the majority there isn't ethnically Russian, the majority is culturally Russian. They overall speak the Russian language and pro-Russian.
They are from 2001 national census and are in line with those of the Soviet era. Live with it.
I just proved the majority there voted Yanukovych…
They voted for him to be THE PRESIDENT OF UKRAINE, not for independence. The majority of Ukrainians voted for Yanukovich. That does not mean that they wanted to annexed by Russia.
who was driven out of office illegally.
He was driven out of office after bowing to Russian pressure he betrayed his electoral mandate and reneged on the EU economic deal, then turned his security forces on the protesters, and finally fled the country. The EU agreement was supported by 3/4 of the population and did not need outside agitation to start protesting. His successors were elected in national elections, not installed by a coup. In any case, these events of 2014 do not justify Russia's invasion in 2022.
They overall speak the Russian language and pro-Russian.
The Irish overall speak English. That does not make them English. And what Kherson and Zaporizhzhia which are 80% Ukrainian and are majority Ukrainian speakers? You never address these two oblasts that Russia also claims.
